I think the main problem right now is motivation. There is no reason whatsoever to win or lose by a few thousand. The match ups next week will remain the same and the score won’t be that different to affect things much.
Why spend time and resources trying to win, what does a server get for winning really at the top?
I think there should be a built in incentive for people to care enough to win besides bragging rights. But that is more of a suggestion for things than anything else.
And I am just pointing out that when JQ wins or is winning, they never get credit for their success, its pretty pathetic what people will make up whatever in their mind to placate their egos about the whole matter. SBI has played great for this past day and deserve it if they win, I won’t make excuses about it.
Frankly whoever wins, doesn’t even really matter, except bragging rights for a week, cause Blackgate is going to beat both SBI and JQ next week easily in my opinion, cause that is where the bandwagon train went 2 weeks ago.
Yenn, it has been SBI that has been using the “we didn’t show up cause of the event excuse”, not JQ
I had 45 chests, on my 43rd I got the Ghastly Shield skin, now I can dance =D
BTW I opened 40 chests, nothing but holiday stuff and a few tonics, oh well was hoping for at least 1 skin! lol
wow the stuff i got was regular Halloween stuff like candy corn and ToT bags. PLUS I got some more tonics…………………
Oh well just glad to get rid of the crap boosters I had saved.
Obviously losing brings out the worst of some people. SBI has a great community, don’t make them look bad. This is a game, relax and enjoy the competition. It has been fun all week, focusing on the numbers too much will ruin your fun.
BTW the epic lagfest brawl in SM today was crazy!
I agree, that hood is just awesome, I want to see it more than just on town clothes =D
I always try to keep positive but I agree, unless you grind for gold in this game 24/7 or have a lot of real money to buy gems, most of the new items are pretty much out of reach, which is a shame.
Why should only the most hardcore players get access to the new items. I liked the town clothes and minis and don’t mind spending money but I have a limit.
well the mats are the easy part, just get the mats over the next 2 weeks and then farm for gold to buy the wine, get the recipe and you can make it anytime even when the holiday is over.
But it is still 125g to actually make the weapon
yup the 40 wine MF recipe gives you the recipe, the recipe itself are the ones listed before that require the gifts.
So you are talking 12 gold for reciple, 125g for the weapon itself
Because then everyone would have max crafting in everything and what little crafted items you can sell on the TP as it is would vanish.
I like it this way, it makes people make rational choices about what crafting they want to have and what items they will buy off the TP from other people instead because of the limitations.
Wow such hate for BG
They have an influx of individuals that will give them a bad name. See above. Shame, seemed like the Blackgate community was decent and worked hard and now the bandwagon transfer train has ruined them. HoD v2.0
As a day 1 member of BG, I can tell you that we are actually really good at WvW. I really don’t see our alliance losing people do to bandwagons. Really we will just wait it out and grind for better gear and just wait for a better match-up. Now the people who are joining the server just because we are good will eventually find another server to go to.
So in all our WvW alliance are very skilled and organized. That is the main reason we are winning all the time. So don’t hate on BG just because people decide to play follow the leader. That is just life.
Problem is, all the people who just moved to BG recently don’t have that same sense of loyalty. Hence why they jumped ship from their old servers. Because of those people who jump ship, it messes up the rankings and when they leave, the server has weeks of getting smashed and the loyal community has to suffer with it.
Besides the small forces you guys had taking rogues quarry there have been little to no Skirmish swords up north or south west into JQ territory.
I have always been one to deny the 2v1 attitude servers put out always said it never happened but when its ongoing for hours that they clearly avoid each other it begins to change my mind on it
Its just paranoia trust me. SBI was pushing us a lot harder than IOJ. So the majority of our forces end up being in that area. We took the tower by the quarry and fought IOJ a lot. SBI just ended up getting the full force of our armies because SBI was pushing us hard, no one to blame but yourselves.

Sadly it seems they increased the capacity for all the servers as right now none of them are full. Which means more flooding to top end WvW servers and more queues.
Haha. We’re used to being pummeled by Tier 1 servers.
Won’t stop us from fighting though. \m/
True, i was just talking about the domination party though =D
ET and CD are pretty much vacated servers with no queues at all. It will take awhile for the servers to re-situate themselves, especially once free transfer end.
Dominating now only means 1 thing, moving up to tier 1 against JQ and SBI. That is when the party ends.
But that is just assumption right? No one has confirmed it? Just trying to think of what other gifts would make, if anything
So I guess it is safe to assume that Gift of Lightning would make the lightning weapons?
Kefro is a broken record, he has been trying to get people to transfer to Blackgate for days now.
Anyone know if this will be fixed or should I try to sell the items in public chat?
There are certain items that are for sale that do not show up in the Trading post. Not by searching for the specific name and not by general searching its area.
2 examples are these mystic forge crafted weapons.
Lidless Eye (scepter)
Immobulus (scepter)
I have both of these for sale currently and can see it through my transactions section, but since no one can actually find them to buy them, I cannot sell them. I don’t know if because they are newer to the trading post so they don’t show up yet or there is a glitch that is preventing them from showing up.
I agree Drew, btw CoE is one of my favorite dungeons, especially the laser part where everyone gets naked =D
I did all 3 paths last night, done them many times before and I really didn’t notice a difference in the difficulty at all. Seems about the same, maybe 1% easier.
The op is wrong, I mistyped, it was supposed to be 250 gold ingots, not ore
loaded, find recipe in here
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/crafting/Mystic-Forge-recipe-broke/first#post324201
Strifey, here is the rest:
Emerald Pendant – 90 Power, 64 Toughness, 64 Vitality
Ruby Pendant – 90 Power, 64 Precision, 5% Critical Damage
Sapphire Pendant – 90 Vitality, 64 Healing Power, 64 Condition Damage.
Woot they fixed it in the latest patch, sadly all it makes is different types of amulets that have new combos of stats
The emerald recipe made an Emerald Pendant
90 power
64 toughness
64 vitality
Its not like you are missing much, the rewards for monthly are meh at best. Just start working on this months and don’t wait until the last minute to finikitten.
No universal tokens is a VERY bad idea. I like challenging dungeons, and if there is universal tokens, people will just do the easiest fastest dungeons and the others will be ignored. I like wearing armor that hardly anyone else has because they only bother to do the easy ones.
Also they said that random token drops will be implemented in the future, so that should fix some of the kicking issue. Though I believe that is a very small problem on the whole where most of the community is very helpful and nice.
Not saying your complaints aren’t valid, but I think you need to focus on the good and not the bad a little more.
The dungeons are fine, except maybe some waypoint placements, ie needing a 5 min run to get back to a boss. They are supposed to be hard, supposed to take a lot of teamwork and strategy. That’s what makes the tokens and rewards so enjoyable because you earned it and didn’t just auto cruise through it.
the AC weapons are only lvl 60 that is why. They will have an option to upgrade them to lvl 80 though, or you can just transmute it to a base exotic weapon with the sigil u want.
Played Ascalonian Catacombs path 1, got 60 tokens. Spend 2 hours doing the Warden path of Arah, only got 45 tokens. I am willing to bet if I do any dungeon or path besides thoses I will get 30.
woot great news! Interested to see what it is.
Thanks Kaz yeah I did that almost two weeks ago hoping a dev would see this and get a fix on it lol =D
Anyone know if this is a real recipe or just a glitch? I don’t want to hold onto all these mats if it is not a real recipe, thanks in advance!
The Rifle is fixed I made one yesterday, no worries!
My only issue with the recipe is the karma. Dungeons give no karma, only certain things give karma and a small amount of it.
Don’t know if this has been mentioned yet, I posted it on another board days ago. I found a Mystic Forge recipe, but when I put all the items in and click forge, nothing happens at all and I get the items back.
The recipe is:
250 Crystalline Dust
250 Gold Ingot
250 (Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire) Orbs. I only tried the Emerald orbs though.
50 Mystic Coins
I tried every combination of order and every time it does the same thing. I am keeping a hold of the mats hoping it gets fixed, thanks.

The rewards are fine for me, but as someone already mentioned. KARMA. Karma is important and dungeons give 0 karma, so instead of doing dungeons, people are camping events farming karma. Dungeons should be based around tokens and karma. I dont care about exp or money, that can be made easily elsewhere. Give me karma with tokens and I will do dungeons all day long.
